Fix big scratch on palmrest?

#1 Post by goji » Mon Sep 07, 2015 7:08 am

What kind of product can I use? Its not deep but very long.. And ugly! Though I wonder if it couldn't be a super glue trail..

Since it appeared shortly after I glued something around.. In that case, what should I use? Alcohol didn't work.

Try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (extra power), works great!

I forgot: product should be find-able on Europe (and not at a crazed price of course!)..^°^

Ok i know this one, i'll try! Thanks. Oh wait.. It says like it's a magic sponge? The white ones? If so i already have them, but never used. I did just now, it cleaned the palmrest but not the scratch. I tried both with and without water on it.

For liquid I recommend 90% isopropyl alcohol (a.k.a. Isopropanol).

DO NOT USE SUPER GLUE!

It will attack the plastic and turn much of the area it's applied to a white haze. It will look ten times worse if you try this.

It works great as a plastic adhesive but don't use it as a filler.
